Message from Potentate Elect Hello to all nobles and their ladies. Lady Lisa and I couldn't be more excited for this upcoming year. We have many fun things planned. I'm working with the potentate from Jaffa right now planning our combined potentates trip to Jamaica. You do not want to miss this one. Coming up on January 12 is the installation of officers here at Ali Ghan. Mid Atlantic Caterers from Baltimore will be catering this event. So please get your reservations into the recorders office before January 9. As I was saying earlier we are very excited for the upcoming year. I'm going to stress participation a lot. You know what they say. Help me help you. I love to see the usual faces and our events but l think it's time for some new faces to show up. And bring a friend or two. So lets roll out the carpet and have some fun in 2019. Mark Puff Puffinburger 3 4
